Flavours of Hope 2026 was an outstanding success, bringing together supporters, partners, volunteers and community members for a memorable afternoon celebrating the work of RAILS and the communities we serve.
Guests enjoyed an exceptional culinary experience curated by Matt, with the menu receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback and contributing to the warm and vibrant atmosphere of the event. Highlights of the afternoon included inspiring addresses by RAILS President, Gayan Mendis, and Shadow Minister Charis Mullen, whose reflections reinforced the importance of supporting refugees, people seeking asylum and vulnerable migrants across Queensland.
The silent auction and raffle generated strong engagement throughout the event, with guests enthusiastically supporting these fundraising activities. Their generosity will make a meaningful contribution towards strengthening RAILS' services and programs.
A special acknowledgement goes to our staff and volunteers, whose professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication ensured the event ran seamlessly. Their commitment, together with the generosity of our sponsors, donors and attendees, made Flavours of Hope 2026 a truly successful celebration of community, compassion and hope.
